Tartu Maratono istorija (EN)Club Tartu Maraton's main project has been ski race Tartu Maraton, first organized in 1960. Within years the small group's skiing trip has grown into a big marathon that brings together thousands of skiers from all over the world.

The popularity of the ski marathon which standard of organization is internationally acknowledged brings participants from every corner of the world. As skiing depends a lot on the weather conditions, the numbers are unsteady, somewhere around 4000. Besides the main 63 km race the Tartu Maraton program includes a 31 km short race.
